Risk of loss.
Where goods are collected by the customer from one of our stores we take full responsibility for any loss or damage to the goods up to and including the point where the customer takes possession of the goods, which in effect equates to the point at which the goods leave the store, or are picked up by the customer.
Where the goods are to be delivered by a third party carrier to one of the courier depots for collection by the customer, then the following will apply:
All items purchased from us are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.
We make use of reputable couriers and will take every effort to ensure that your goods are suitably wrapped for transportation however there is always a possibility that goods may be damaged or lost in transit.
We therefore provide you with the option to insure your goods against possible freight loss or damage. This option is provided at the bottom of the Shopping Cart screen. Here is an explanation of the extent and nature of this coverage.
Freight insurance is provided through an accredited provider. The cost of this insurance is $99 inc GST per shipment. In the event that goods are damaged in transit and you have taken the option to have them insured we will ensure that the goods are replaced or repaired back to good order, depending on the nature and extent of the damage.
This insurance covers “real” damage i.e. structural damage or serious cosmetic damage to the goods which might impact its use or resale value. The insurance does not cover scratches, blemishes or other minor cosmetic impediments that might occur from time to time during normal handling, especially if these impediments are what might be expected to occur in any case within a short period of normal use. In the event that there is disagreement as to whether the impediments are “real” or not then the logic to apply is what is a reasonable outcome.
Before sending by courier all goods will be first inspected by us to ensure that they are free of any defects or damage (with the exception of goods which are still in their original packaging as these goods will be deemed to be in good condition when shipped) In the event that goods are damaged when you receive them and it is difficult to ascertain whether the goods were damaged in transit or prior to being shipped then it will be deemed that the goods were damaged in transit (with the exception of manufacturer's warranty issues, which will be referred back to the manufacturer for resolution)
By taking the decision to use this insurance option you are deemed to understand and accept the terms and conditions relating to freight insurance.
Should you choose not to take our insurance option then you effectively take full responsibility for any damage to or loss of goods that might occur whilst the
goods are in transit. Under no circumstances will we be held accountable for goods damaged or lost in transit.
In the unlikely event that goods are damaged when you receive them and it is difficult to ascertain whether the goods were damaged in transit or prior to being shipped then it will be deemed that the goods were damaged in transit (with the exception of manufacturers warranty issues, which will be referred back to the manufacturer for resolution)
Damage to property by third party.
In the unlikely event that your property is damaged by any third party commissioned by us, such as a courier, contract driver or freelancer, then you will have to take the matter up with that third party. We will assist by providing you with the contact details of such third party and where possible will facilitate any such discussions, but cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by any such third party.
Product descriptions.
We attempt to be as accurate as possible. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions or other content of this site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a product offered by us itself is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition. Colours may vary in products from time to time based on manufacturing processes.
Product availability.
PaddleZone endeavours to keep all products on our website and instore up to date with current models, colour options and availability noting that certain models, configurations and colour options may not be available or as pictured at all times. An alternate colour or model option may be offered when we are out of stock. Your local store will be able to confirm specific model and colour availability. Shipping delays do occur and are out of our control.
Pricing.
Except where noted otherwise, the price displayed for products instore on our website includes GST. The recommended retail price listed on the product itself, is suggested by the manufacturer or supplier, or estimated in accordance with standard industry practice; or the estimated retail value for a comparably featured item offered elsewhere. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in our range may be mispriced, our apologies in advance for any inconvenience. If an items correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
Promotions.
From time to time, PaddleZone will promote certain products. PaddleZone endeavours to ensure all products are available in specified colours in all stores. Colours may have to be substituted depending on availability. Promotions are not transferable and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers.

Disputes.
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your visit to our websites or to products or services sold or distributed by us online will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.
However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Conditions of Use as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered office below.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

Delivery charges.
If you select to have your kayak delivered for a fee then this is the fee that you will be charged provided that you are happy to wait for our courier to get to you on his normal rounds.
Once you have placed your order PaddleZone will get in touch with the courier and then with you to discuss the approximate timing of your delivery.
Should you require urgent delivery (ie cannot wait for our courier to get to you) then we will call for a price to get the goods shipped to you ASAP using a general courier.
Usually the general courier fee will be higher than that charged by our dedicated kayak courier. You will be required to pay any difference.
Product availability and colour choice.
We carry at any one time up to 1,000 kayaks plus thousands of accessories across our various stores and main warehouse, however, there may be times when we are out of stock of a particular item, model variation or listed colour.
Each store usually has in stock at any one time at least one or more of each product, however, the stores cannot possibly carry every kayak in every colour or style. Stores receive regular deliveries from our warehouses so, please allow time for your local store to take delivery of your purchased item. For interstate deliveries to areas where we do not have a store, please allow extra time for the courier to deliver to your nearest depot.
Wherever possible you will be provided with the exact items that you have purchased, but there may be instances in which we do not have in stock in our warehouse your preferred colour. In such instances you will be provided with your next choice of colour or model. In instances where your first, second or third choice of colour is not available then someone from PaddleZone will contact you to discuss alternate colour options. The unavailability of one or more particular colours will not constitute grounds for cancellation.
In some rare instances we may be completely out of stock of a particular product, in which case someone from PaddleZone will get in contact with you to discuss any likely delays.
At any stage prior to collection, you may exchange you product for the same model in another colour, or another product of similar value. This is not applicable to special/custom colours or products. Any minor differences in price will of course need to resolved mutually.
